I was talking with a body work and paint guy, and he shared in 2019, he clear coated an 1970 Dodge Challenger with original paint. The client wanted to preserve the oxidized and vintage look of the car.
Has anyone ever heard of this before?
Over the years, this car had been aggressively buffed a few times. Most of the hood, roof and deck lid showed signs of the factory primer bleeding through the factory paint. The sides were less oxidized, but still showed signs of fading. Some of the edges were over buffed down to bare metal, now showing a nice patina but little rust (in California).
I get why someone would do this. I even like the idea a little. But, I've never heard of anyone doing this.
